To set the machine’s timing:
1. Raise the presser feet and rotate the
balance wheel until the needle is at the
highest position. Remove the needle plate
and the feed dog; each is held in place by
two screws (49).
2. Tilt the machine back and remove the slide
plate by sliding it all the way to the left until it
comes off of the machine.

3. Ensure that the stitch length indicator is set
to its lowest stitch length (0mm)(p. 23).
4. Rotate the balance wheel so that the needle
is at its lowest position. Make a mark on
a paper 2.5mm from the edge. Hold the
paper up to where the needle bar meets the
flat surface through which the bar travels
and make a mark on the bar at the 2.5mm
location (50).
